The Kid Asks His Dad

Son: “Daddy, I have to write a special report for school,

but I don’t know what Politics is.” Father: “Well,

let’s take our home as an example. I am the bread-winner,

so let’s call me Capitalism. Your Mum is the administrator

of money, so we’ll call her Government. We take care of

your needs, so let’s call you The People. We’ll call the

maid the Working Class and your brother we can call The

Future. Do you understand son?” Son: “I’m not really

sure, Dad. I’ll have to think about it.” That night

awakened by his brother’s crying, the boy went to see what

was wrong. Discovering that the baby had seriously soiled

his diaper, the boy went to his parents’ room and found

his mother sound asleep. He went to the maid’s room,

where, peeking through the keyhole, he saw his father in bed

with the maid. The boy’s knocking went totally unheeded by

his father and the maid, so the boy returned to his room and

went back to sleep. The next morning he reported to his

father. Son: “Dad, now I think I understand what Politics

is.” Father: “Good son! Can you explain it to me in your

own words?” Son: “Well Dad, while Capitalism is screwing

the Working Class, the Government is sound asleep, the

People are being completely ignored and The Future is in

deep s**t.
